The unsettling part is that a corroded barrel is not necessarily a failed design.
Unsettling because it's not the radioactivity levels in the vicinity of the barrels that is of concern*. It's the solubility of various radionuclides in sea water and the subsequent diffusion over large distances that concerns me. Glassification of spent fuel and other byproducts would tend to confine this stuff, keeping them in one place.
Like spending that same money to build vocational schools for the skilled trades that are in short supply. I know...not as cool and exciting, but I think we need 10,000 more welders a lot more than we need 10,000 more tech bros.
Well then, we should be moving on to super duper intelligence.
So at least now we know what Coyote will look like after impact with the canyon floor.

Why not? After all, it won't be coming out of their pockets.
We carefully regulate the purity and safety of over-the-counter drugs. We need to do the same for social media.
The manufacturers of social media content is the public. I'd hate to see how the regulations would affect First Amendment rights. And who we'd get to be the lab rats for testing safety and efficacy.
Drugs and booze are just as dangerous for adults as kids. We assume that for a subset of these, adults have the maturity and judgement to regulate their own use. Not always a valid assumption, but what else are we going to do? Go through another prohibition?
Pretty weak plot.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
I saw the story of that burglary on a program about bank jobs. The History Channel, I believe.
More devious plot: There was this bank robber who figured out a way to tunnel into the vault. Except that the bank had a very sensitive sound activated alarm. Tunneling noises and they've got you. So, he rented a safety deposit box. Where he placed an alarm clock. Couple of times a week, the banks alarm would go off. They'd open the vault and
Then, he tunneled in.
AI incorrectly raises the alarm about contraband shipment enough times and people will write it off as another hallucination bug. Once the trust in the system has dropped to zero, the contraband shipments may commence.
You don't think the IRGC have yachts?
Actually
This may turn out well. Rather than fearing for the survival of humanity, we can just sit back and watch the AIs try to kill each other.
